<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 26091957, member: 4626&quot;]Never been a fan of any argument that law abiding people should be inconvenienced to curtail the action of criminals, that by their very nature, are disinclined to follow the law anyway.&nbsp; Besides there have been counterfeit Sacagaweas and one person even famously counterfeited nickels.&nbsp; Not every criminal is especially ambitious (or especially brilliant either: there&#039;s a story of someone that tried to spend counterfeit $13 bills at a Wal-Mart; the cashier, <i>for some reason</i>, suspected their authenticity lol).</p><p><br /></p><p>You can&#039;t ever stop everyone determined to break the law from doing so, but there are plenty of security features already in place to make it hard for them so at least counterfeits can be detected by most people paying a reasonable amount of attention.&nbsp; The place where I work at we&#039;ve found a few counterfeits that weren&#039;t particularly difficult to detect (company policy though we&#039;re not allowed to refuse them, for the same reason we&#039;re not allowed to confront suspected thieves: safety issue since you never know how someone confronted will react, and when you do so you&#039;re not the only one you&#039;re putting at risk.&nbsp; But we&#039;re still expected to report suspicious bills once the person that paid with them is out of sight).&nbsp; I imagine in the unlikely event this bill is produced (or some other over $100 bill) it will have the best security features we can come up with, ones that probably will show up on the lower denomination bills too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
